I have a strange alignment issue with the top level category.
the strange part for me, is that it only affects 2 top level cats, but not the others.

I wanted to put a background color for all cat links, which has cause this.
I made many, many revisions to the css inserts area.
here is what i currently have
#categories-3 ul ul.children li.cat-item a{
background-color: #CAC99D;
width: 190px;
float: left;
display: block;
}

And i am attaching 2 screenshots, the first is the alignment issue showing the links pushed to the side, and the second one is the normal cats, both are using the same added style

Can anyone figure out the issue?

Many thanks

Edit: I should mention that this is for firefox, IE is showing it properly

what version of Atahualpa and WP
What is the URL?

oops, i meant to post that
WordPress 2.8.2
Atahualpa 3.4.5.1

I prefer the url not to be public, as it's under development
do you mind if i pm you with it?

Thanks juggledad!

try this,you had a couple things messed up in your CSS - replace your with

#categories-3 ul ul.children li.cat-item a {
background-color:#CAC99D;
width:190px;
float:left;
display:block
}
#categories-3 ul li.cat-item a {
background-color:#D9D298;
width:190px;
float:left;
display:block
}

#categories-3 ul ul.children li.cat-item a:hover {
color:#ffffff;
width:190px;
float:left;
display:block
}

Worked like a charm!

Thanks so much juggledad, really appreciate the help
